Abstract

In this study, a new method for simultaneous synthesis and coating of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles was employed, where ferric and ferrous ions were co-precipitated within an aqueous solution containing agar at room temperature under inert atmosphere. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that synthesized nanoparticles were pure Fe3O4 with a cubic structure and crystallite size ranging between 9.38 and 10.11 nm. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images demonstrated the increasing surface roughness as concentration of surface coating material increased. The produced magnetic particles were used as a support for α−amylase immobilization by adsorption method. Effects of sonication, immobilization time (0.5; 1; 2; 4; 8; 16 h) concentration of surface coating material (0; 0.5; 1% w/v agar), immobilization pH (pH 3,4,5,6,7) on protein loading, enzyme activity and specific activity were investigated. Sonication did not enhance amylase immobilization. Based on the specific activity of the enzyme, the optimum adsorption was achieved at pH 4 and 5 after 4h-immobilization time, where, compared to the free α−amylase, a 3-fold increase in specific activity and 360% increase in relative activity was measured, respectively.

Agar-Kaplı Manyetik Nanopartiküller Üzerine Adsorpsiyon ile Amilaz İmmobilizasyonu

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, inert atmosfer altında oda sıcaklığında agar içeren sulu bir çözelti içinde ferrik ve ferröz iyonlarının birlikte çökeltildiği, manyetik demir oksit nanopartiküllerin eşzamanlı sentezi ve kaplanması için yeni bir yöntem kullanıldı. X-ışını kırınımı (XRD) analizi, sentezlenen nanopartiküllerin kübik yapıya ve 9.38 ile 10.11 nm arasında değişen kristalit boyutuna sahip saf Fe3O4 olduğunu gösterdi. Taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM) görüntüleri, yüzey kaplama malzemesi konsantrasyonu arttıkça artan yüzey pürüzlülüğünü gösterdi. Üretilen manyetik partiküller adsorpsiyon yöntemiyle α-amilaz immobilizasyonu için destek olarak kullanıldı. Sonikasyon, immobilizasyon süresi (0,5; 1; 2; 4; 8; 16 saat), yüzey kaplama malzemesi konsantrasyonu (0; 0,5; %1 w/v agar), immobilizasyon pH'ının (pH 3,4,5,6, 7) protein yüklemesi, enzim aktivitesi ve spesifik aktivite üzerine etkileri araştırıldı. Sonikasyon, amilaz immobilizasyonunu arttırmadı. Enzimin spesifik aktivitesine dayalı olarak, optimum adsorpsiyon pH 4 ve 5'te 4 saatlik immobilizasyon süresinde elde edildi; bu koşullarda serbest α−amilaza kıyasla spesifik aktivitede 3 kat artış ve bağıl aktivitede %360 artış ölçüldü.
